To establish the “safe level”.
• Start your volume control at a low setting.
• Slowly increase the sound until you can hear it comfortably and clearly, and
without distortion.
• Once you have established a comfortable “sound level” make a note of this
position and do not go above this setting.
Taking a minute to do this will help to prevent hearing damage in the future.
After all, we want you listening for a lifetime.
Introduction
Your ADDICTIVE AUDIO amplifier has been designed to give you very high
performance, and valuable features, at a very reasonable price. Take the time to
read over this brief set of instructions, and you will get full enjoyment from your
system.
Installation
The quality of the installation will affect system performance and reliability. You
may wish to contact a dealer or professional installer. The amplifier is generally
mounted in the rear trunk area but can be mounted in any convenient area such as
beneath a seat. Please be sure to locate this unit where you have reasonable air
circulation and protection from any moisture.
When considering the mounting location you should minimize the length of the
power supply and speaker leads. Minimizing both leads will provide higher audio
output from the system. It is important to ensure that the heat sink is not against a
panel or a surface preventing air circulation. Mark the location for the mounting
screw holes by using the amplifier as a template. Drill #29 or 9/64” diameter holes
at the marked locations and firmly fasten the amplifier in place with the mounting
screws supplied in the accessory kit.
Caution
Before drilling or cutting any holes investigate the layout of your automobile
thoroughly! Take care when working near the gas lines, hydraulic lines and
electrical wiring.
WARNING
This power amplifier has a protection feature to prevent any damage from misuse
or faulty conditions - excessive heat, short circuit speakers or overload. If the unit
senses one of the above conditions, the protection indicator will light and the
system will shut down. To diagnose the problem turn all levels down, all power off
and check the installation for possible wiring mistakes or shorts. In the event the
amplifier shuts down due to excessive heat under adverse conditions simply allow
time for the unit to cool down at which time, the protection indicator will not light.
